Hi,
I am using the 6050 evaluation board and would also like to integrate the compass in the measurements. I know that there is no "official" compass support in this release but after checking the code it seems that a lot of the compass code is already in place. I saw that there is no real external slave configuration for any compass. Could you give me some hints how I could get this up and running ? Or is it just not really viable at this time ?
Many thanks in advance.

Re: Re: MPL Compass support
I will be developing the compass interface, I just received the EV_MPU6050_A BOARD. On the board is the AK8975 3 axis compass. Planning on using the I2c interface with a Microchip dsPic30f, using the "C" compiler provided by Microchip. I found the AK8975 I2c specifications at

I would appreciate a CC email for any information provided to you by InvenSense.

Re: Re: MPL Compass support
Future releases of our Embedded MotionApps Platform will support the compass. In the meantime you can write the drivers to interface with the magnetometer yourself and obtain the discrete data from that device. It would be easiest done by rerouting the I2C lines for the magnetometer directly to your application processor. You can also use the pass through mode setting for MPU-6050 to talk directly to the magnetometer on the auxiliary I2C bus.
